Our civilization is flinging itself to pieces. Stand back from the centrifuge.

Go out and make your own speeches. People need you. Go on TV. It can be done. After you speak up a few times, people say, "Hey, we got a crazy man in the community," and they'll begin talking to you.

It was a pleasure to burn.

If someone tells you to do something for money, tell them to go to hell.

Nobody listens anymore. I can't talk to the walls because they're yelling at me, I can't talk to my wife; she listens to the walls. I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough it'll make sense. And I want you to teach me to understand what I read.

I don't think about what I do. I do it. That's Buddhism. I jump off the cliff and build my wings on the way down.

The important thing is to be in love with something.
